Coupon Policies (Per Store)

Ever been made to feel like a thief for using coupons? 
Ever been told you could not use a coupon you KNEW was valid? 
Ever wondered what stores will let you use a store and a manufacturer coupon together for the same item?

If you said YES to any of the questions above, then you are in the right place!  I have fallen victim to all of the above and was thrilled to find these...so much so that I have a printed copy with me upon each store visit!

These are a few of the stores that I have trouble with on a fairly regular basis.   Some days it depends on which side of town you are on, some days it depends on the cashier.  However, now you are armed and ready!

Walgreen's Trip 2/28/11

Monday is not my "normal" day to do my Walgreen's shopping...but after today it just might have to change!  Due to mileage and saving money on gas I don't usually get to go to Walgreen's until Friday's, by then most things are pretty picked over or gone.  Well, today I had some time sensitive things to take care of that just happened to be near Walgreen's...so I figured I would get it over with early.  Boy, what a fantastic idea!!!  Keep in mind that I will either donate to a worthy place/cause or give away some of the things I buy...since we could never possibly use everything.  Sometimes though I have to buy certain things to get free or very low priced items.  Believe me, it all works out in the end!  :-)

Here is a listing of what I purchased and the deals I got:

Bought (1) Applied Nutrition Anti-Aging Total Body Defense 50ct.  $10, Got $10 RR = FREE

Bought (1) Baby Magic Lotion or Hair & Body Wash 16.5 oz.  $3, Got $3 RR = FREE

Bought (1) NasoGel Drip-Free Gel Spray 1 oz.  $4.99, Got $4.99 RR = FREE

Bought (1) Motrin PM Pain Relief 20 ct.  $3, Got $3 RR = FREE

Bought (1) Colgate Toothpaste 4 oz. Total Gum Defense or Total Advanced $2.99, Got $2.99 RR = FREE

Bought (1) Nivea Lip Care .17 or .35 oz.  $2.99, Got $2 RR = $ .99

Bought (1) Aquaphor Lip Repair .35 oz. $4.99, Got $4 RR = $ .99


Ok, so let's see here...since I lost one of my receipts somewhere along the way I will just figure up everything without tax.

Merchandise Total:  $31.96
I used coupons and some of my previous RR (Register Rewards) and paid $13.15. 
ot back $29.98 Register Rewards for my next trip!
So here is the breakdown:

Total:  $31.96
Paid:   $13.15
Saved:$18.81  :-)
PLUS, I got $29.98 RR's to use on future trips!!!

So by shopping at Walgreen's today I actually MADE money, $16.83 to be exact!  I could get used to making $16.83 in less that 20 minutes!
